Hi!, I just go my hp50g and I'm wondering: if I have a big integer or
some big string without line breaks, which is too long to view on a
single line, is there some function that will display it on several
lines?

I am not aware of a command that will do what you're asking, however
you can always write your own program to format a string to 22
character lines.

The program below takes a string and SUBs 22 characters at a time,
appends the newline character (10 CHR), creating a string with no
lines longer than 22 characters:

\<< DUP \-> string
\<< SIZE DUP 22. >
IF
THEN 1. SWAP "" UNROT
FOR i string i DUP 21. + SUB + 10. CHR + 22.
STEP
ELSE DROP string
END
\>>
\>>

"Displaying with line-wrap" [on HP49/50 series]
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/msg/40a94cf78e0297b3

"Page by page viewer for all HP48/49/50"
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/msg/592b8e76b2cbf70e

The first scrolls line by line;
the second scrolls page by page.

I have not got a solution to this problem, but there is a solution
to paste such long lines e.g. into a word document:
convert the line to a GROB by 0, ENTER, ->GROB.
Save the GROB to your pc and use NCONVERT (google
is your friend) to convert it into an jpg. Now you can paste
it e.g. into a word document.

This is a little complicated but it works to make documentations
about solving mathematical exercises. If somebody has a better
solution, please post it.

Best Regards,
Peter
